The 25 best FPS games on PC
25.
For more fast-paced shooting, check out Turbo Overkill and Neon White further down on this list.
Kicking off with a newbie to the list,Severed Steelis all about sick stunts.
Oh yeah, you have an arm cannon!
become your playground when you start blasting through walls.
Severed Steel can feel disorienting at first, but it’s rather forgiving.
It’s the complete opposite of Superhot’s near-constant slow-mo, but it makes you feel equally badass.
If you’re after more horror action, thenF.E.A.Rhas very good kicks alongside its spooky vibes.
Resident Evil Villagecontinues the journey of Ethan Winters and his unlucky hands.
A big reason why?
Trust us when we say infinite ammo grenade launchers are the best.
Boomerang X
What else should I be playing:GiveAmid Evila shot, orUltrakilla try.
It’s safe to say that I was blown away byBoomerang X.
Gun are overrated - boomerangs are the new hotness.
Combat is remarkably fluid and there’s barely any downtime.
It’s fast, frenetic, and a whole heap of cool.
String together a flawless succession of moves, and trust me, the feeling is unrivalled.
Apex Legends also works.
That is, assuming you could find opponents.
That’s a shame, because it’s one of thebest free to play games on PCright now.
If you simply miss the Halo of old, then don’t panic.
Halo Infinite still has plenty of linear levels sprinkled throughout that feel like traditional Halo.
Only, Deathloop isn’t actually that sneaky.
So, kill, die, and kill some more.
In that chaotic action, you’ll meet Julianna.
She’s another assassin, but her target is you.
It’s an explosive end to most missions that delivers frenetic action and memorable multiplayer moments.
If you want real tactical action, you’ll want to be back to the original Rainbow Six trilogy.
If you’re after more Warhammer, then Vermintide successorWarhammer 40K: Darktideis set to hit PC in November.
It’s leaping over to the space marine setting, and will have a larger focus on ranged weapons.
Warhammer: Vermintide 2is all about killing rat people.
Most importantly, though, it always involves bloody carnage that feels oh-so-good.
Turbo Overkillis a retro-inspired FPS following in the footsteps of Quake and DOOM, albeit with a techno twist.
We gave Turbo Overkilla bestest bestwhen it launched in early access in late 2021.
But, to reiterate one of the most salient points: you have a chainsaw for a leg.
If you like the puzzle element, why not try outPortalandPortal 2?
They aren’t focused on speed, but give a similar sense of satisfaction.
And then you run it and complete the mission an entire second faster.
Few things feel better than that.
Hunt: Showdown’s this mixture of PVP and PVP, underscored by serious tension.
Trouble is, there are other squads also attempting to do the same thing.
Die and you lose your equipment forever.
Survive, and you’ll not only keep your stuff, but get some of the spoils too.
That’s the tension for you - every single foray into the dark could spell disaster.
Even swapping your weapon or reloading in quiet moments might give away your position.
It’s an FPS that’s unlike anything out right now.
Otherwise, I suppose you could opt forPUBG, although it feels ancient in comparison.
Team Fortress 2
What else should I be playing:Overwatch, you fools.
ThatTeam Fortress 2is a sequel and a remake of a sober-as-a-nun multiplayer mod seems almost irrelevant now.
But its part of what makes the game so important.
A move to free-to-play and a hat-centric economy has kept TF2 thriving.
A pure test of everything that first-person shooters ever taught us.
Reflex, awareness, movement, practice, true grit and no surrender.
I beat it in a very bloody weekend, and now I only see pentagrams and demons.
DOOM 2016 was a bloody and brilliant reintroduction to the demon-slaying franchise, butDOOM Eternaltakes it to new heights.
Namely, rippin' and tearin'.
Warhammer Vermintide is also worth a shot if you’re after that 4 player gore fest.
And Back 4 Blood is a more recent take on the zombie-slaying formula that hit PC in 2021.
Zombies: in 2008 they were still very exciting.
Get thee tothe Steam workshopand indulge.
It is sublime, and it is impossibly cool.
The Matrix fantasy without any of the bilge - just superhot action.
A glorious, glorious reinvention of first-person violence.
Deep Rock Galacticcombines drunk dwarves with some complex tunnel systems and lots of nasty subterranean bugs.
As you go, hordes of creepy critters will charge in your direction.
GTFO
What else should I be playing:Not much matches GTFO’s oppressive atmosphere.
Hurtling down into the dark depths ofGTFO’s Rundowns (levels) is a terrifying start.
What’s even more terrifying, though, is when teammates don’t work together.
Lots of screaming, shooting, and swearing ensues.
It’s pure chaos with a horror-filled flair, and it’s a great time online.
That tension is only heightened by the enemy variety crawling around every level.
But, if you’ve got both of these things, then you’re in for a treat.
And this is because the game’s been designed with VR in mind.
You’re even able to cover your mouth with your actual hand, and have it replicated in-game.
It’s very much been lifted by VR, and not harmed by it.
DUSKis a retro-styled FPS that’s retro, but doesn’t get stuck trying tomimicretro.
kindly don’t skip out on this.
There’s no elegant way to put this:Valorantis Counter: Strike but with wizards and ninjas.
One team wants to plant a bomb, the other needs to stop this from happening.
By inching around corners, having decent aim, and making strong callouts in the team chat.
Patience is rewarded here, as is coordinating with your team to control each map.
If Valorant sounds like Counter: Strike, that’s because the gunplay is pretty similar.
However, where it differs is in ability usage.
I’d say I prefer Valorant to Counter: Strike nowadays, purely because it feels more current.
As is Call Of Duty: Warzone.
Oh my, Apex, what excellent bumslides you have.
What solid shootsing you offer.
What a delightful bunch of canyons and swamps youve plonked us in.
We should have known better than to doubt the makers of Titanfall 2s robot antics.
Destiny 2
What else should I be playing:TheBorderlandsseries will give you a similar loot-scavenging runabout.
If you want to dip into third-person,The Division 2is another solid looter shooter.
Destiny 2 has so much to love, but that doesn’t mean it’s without fault.
However, it’s a testament to Destiny 2’s strengths that we still recommend it so highly.
